What is so useful in all the A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles books is that they give mouth opening sizes and, from the point of view of hollowing, I am trying to see if there is anything to be gained from looking just at mouth openings to degrees of hollowing, bottle style, school of carving etc.
 

Hi Adrian,

I have been researching this myself for a while, and have formulated some conclusions. I will send you a PM to discuss further...

Tom
